    Great Potential, Needs Attention

    I loved the spacious studio and the proximity to the beach. However, the check-in was quite chaotic with room availability issues. The pool area was relaxing, but I wish the staff had been more responsive to my concerns. Future guests should confirm room details ahead of time.

    friendly staff
    ventilation issue

    The staff was incredibly friendly, making my

    stay enjoyable. The beach access was excellent, allowing for beautiful walks along the shore. However, I did encounter some minor ventilation issues in the bathroom. Overall, it was a nice retreat, particularly with the peaceful atmosphere.

    beachfront access
    comfortable bed

    charming, charming, charming

    I was blown away by the beachfront access, which allowed me to easily enjoy stunning sunrises and long beach walks. The beautifully designed studio had a comfortable bed and a complete kitchen, making my stay feel like a home away from home. The lovely pool area provided the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring nearby restaurants and activities.

    would recommend 😊💖

    kitchen size
    working shower
    wifi issues

    The apartment size was good with a complete kitchen, making it feel like a home. The shower worked well and the air conditioning did its job, providing some comfort amid the chaos.

    WiFi connection was unreliable, making it tough to stay connected, while the pool's cleanliness left much to be desired. Housekeeping was inconsistent, with unmade beds on arrival and a lack of basic toiletries, like toilet paper. I also encountered a jammed safety box and poorly maintained furniture, including a mattress that was quite far from acceptable.

    beachfront access
    slow restaurant service

    The beachfront access was stunning, making morning walks absolutely delightful, and the apartments were spacious with a complete kitchenette that added to the comfort of my stay.

    The restaurant service was extremely slow. I encountered long waits for breakfast, which was disappointing given the otherwise pleasant experience.

    great walks
    slow service

    The beach access was stunning and allowed for great walks, but the restaurant service was painfully slow and food overpriced.

    exorbitant prices
    poor maintenance

    oh, where to start? i almost thought i could give a good review until i noticed the poorer maintenance and absolutely exorbitant food prices at the restaurant, which are not suited for actual humans. after my 10 hour flight, you'd think they'd upgrade my room, but no, just treated like everyone else, what a shame.
